I work as a full-time registered psychologist in Calgary, specializing in clinical psychology, with specific clinical interests in the areas of trauma, justice-involved persons, military and public safety personnel, and health care professionals.
I have worked clinically in various third-party contexts over the years, including the Alberta Workers’ Compensation Board, Saskatchewan Government Insurance, provincial and federal courts, and Veterans Affairs Canada.
I am also an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary.
Many people wonder why they are struggling, or feel shame for how or what they feel. As a clinical psychologist, I am interested in helping adults understand themselves better, make sense of their experiences (past and present), and develop tools and strategies so that they can feel confident in the face of challenges, and live full and meaningful lives.
I use an integrative, client-centered approach that draws from empirically supported treatments (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and prolonged exposure). Together we will create a treatment plan that is tailored to you and your specific goals.
I have experience working with adults through a number of issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, boundaries, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. I specialize in the assessment and treatment of trauma (re: childhood abuse, sexual assault, interpersonal violence, motor vehicle accidents, workplace/operational injuries).
I am passionate about helping people return to wellness, return to work, or generally help them cope with the challenges or transitions they are facing in life. I offer a collaborative space that is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Please contact me for an appointment or no-fee consult to see if I am the right fit you and your needs.
